The threat comes on the same day that rumors on Facebook suggested a school shooting would take place. Those rumors, which had spread throughout the week, scared many parents, despite repeated assurances from school officials that they had started with a student's dream.One student was expelled and one student was suspended because of the Facebook posts. About 200 students were absent from Evergreen today, more than twice the usual number.
